Holy fucking shit.
If the petty catty bitchiness of Trump is what causes all of this to fail it is so fucking funny
Second time as etc.
Alongside choosing to invade Venezuela because he saw Maduro slinging too much donk, I can’t get over how stupid this war is. It’s Stupid Ukraine when the Ukrainian War used to be Stupid Ukraine.
The funniest thing about that post is I can’t even remember what motivated it anymore
First Trump inauguration I think
Makes sense
date checks out
That’s so goddamn funny. This is the kind of funny that ruins your day because nothing will approach this level of elation. I will try to joke, and I will just think back to this and I will cease, knowing nothing I say will be as funny as this.
It will be hilarious if future textbooks talk about the fall of the US empire, and how many of its missteps towards the end can be attributed to its leader being a petty bitch.
When we needed a king…we got a QUEEN.
The true heir to the throne is still waiting in the wings.

I bet you anything (based solely on how I feel libs behave in their ‘meritocracy’) she was like “the more decorated I am in achievement, the more likely he is to install me as president”
-
The only thing Trump is more capable of than posting is preventing women from taking seats of power

- fool me twice can’t get fooled again
We live in joker world
We live in a SSo$iety
i nominate Reza Pahlavi as the next recipient of the nobel peace prize
I mean he could have mandated MCM be the leader but that wouldn’t make the general assembly fall in line and it certainly wouldn’t have put the Bolivarian revolution to bed.
She’s damned if she did, damned if she didn’t.
So it wasn’t Obama winning one for all of his “peaceful” drone strikes, but Trump handing one out to the US’s puppet of the week that did it. Not even the “puppet of the week” part, but the fact that Trump is involved is what ruined the “gravitas” of the award. I fucking hate this Trump derangement syndrome that the entire world has. Trump is America, he is the most American president they have ever had, he just says the quiet part outloud, the same things they’ve always done.
_no it’s a sign of trump not taking over that he didn’t put her in place _
Oh this makes sense.
Keeping the social democrats who already has the levers of power (who might have been responsible for the invasion, there are signs this might have been an internal op) makes more sense in handing it efficiently over to capital, it buys time. The right isnt going anywhere, but just because domestic support for the Bolivarian government has waned doesnt mean the right is ready to take power. They still have zero mandate, and starting a civil war is no guarantee that the right wing of a revolutionary government, albeit one that has severely degenerated over decades, will prevail.
Kidnapping Maduro (theoretically) makes the social democrats (who may have allowed/facilitated Maduro’s kidnapping) get in line, and puts them on the defensive; but the right, being a bunch of greedy little pigs, all lines up at the trough waiting for their slop.
If the right was given actual power they might try and carve a little piece off for themselves as compensation. The sheer brutality carried out by a right wing with a mandate is likely to backfire, given the existing power of what is left of the Bolivarian revolution. Political legitimacy is only one kind of power.
The Nobel peace prize thing shows this dynamic in a major way, the fact that she dared to take anything for herself disqualified her. She doesn’t get the big job, and the right learns there is nothing but middle-class serfdom/waiting for them. And because they’re cowards and fools for believing even that is on the table, they will continue to destabilize the country politically while the banks and oil corporations draw up the new maps.
